I have an opportunity to grab a bunch of Sun stuff tomorrow. I know
that there will be some SPARCstation, Ultra-1 and Ultra-2 workstations,
and a bunch of undefined-but-Sun parts. Not sure about SW and docs.
Does anyone have something that they want me to keep a lookout for and
pass on?
It's in Kent.

SPARC era Sun stuff around the East is so damn common, but I can not
say how it is up in Microsoftland. If the pile has any SPARCstation 12
machines, I know someone that has been bugging me for one. Yes, they
exist.
Which brings me to the point of this post - I have just about dug out
my old Sun-3/60, and I want to sell or trade it. It works - at least
as of about ten years ago! Sun-3 stuff is just starting to get thin in
the wild, and in a few years will probably be damn hard to find. Email
me offlist, if anyone is interested.
And I finally rolled the Apollo 10K out, to be cleaned up and moved on.

Around here it seems to be at that stage where if the word's put around, quite
a lot will turn up (3/50 and 3/60 in particular) - but nobody's actively
listing it any more because it's all tucked away at the back of their storage
and largely forgotten about.
But then we had a lot of tech companies and the uni around here who largely
used Sun hardware in the past - the Sun-to-everything-else density's probably
a lot higher here than in a lot of places.

Always wanted one of those. Always been a fan of Apollo stuff; even though the
10k seems like a significantly different chunk of hardware, I guess it still
appeals just because it's so uncommon (I like weird, low-volume machines :-)
Any chance of throwing some photos up somewhere at some point? I don't think
there any around on the 'net any more (and there weren't ever many)

A few folks have asked about the 10K - I will need to roll it outside
clean it up this week. I will also shoot some pictures, and figure out
what is installed.
It is currently not a runner, as it has no hard disk.
